No. 13. Belilios Public School. Vernacular Side.
Staff --SUNG HOK PANG, 5 Assistant Teachers, one Needlework Teacher and 2 Pupil
Teachers.
Discipline and Organization.-Discipline very good except in Standard I where there was too much talking. A further unsatisfactory feature in this class was the mauber in which pupils conducted themselves at examination. They read in a great hurry, explained the sentences in a sing song and refused to be stopped. They paid no attention to my remarks and declined to listen even to their own teachers. More supervision will have to be exercized by the headmaster to remedy these weak points in the lowest class to some of which attention was called last year.
Organization:-very good. At future examinations pupils will not be allowed to make rough copies of their essays in the first instance as the true test of good composition lies in expressing one's thoughts clearly on paper without any hesitation whatever.
Sanitation.-Very satisfactory.
Apparatus.~Very satisfactory.
